6) The Jewish problem of the Berbers

In short, as you can see, the ancient history of the Libyans, that is to say the Berbers, strangely brings us back to the Bible—with, of course, the story of Mahasuk and his brothers that I have just told you, or the strange story of a flight of slaves into the desert toward a mysterious oasis. But also with the Stele of Merneptah, the oldest Egyptian inscription mentioning the name of Israel, but commemorating first and foremost a victory against a coalition of Libyans and the mysterious Sea Peoples.

And this Judeo-Berber connection is found explicitly and in a rather « dark » way in « Contes Kabyles », in which Jews appear several times, but rarely in a favorable light. And that's an understatement. You'll understand what I mean.

In the first tale (Volume III, p. 147), « The Son of the Poor Baker », an old Jew keeps magic spells in his grimoire, which are stolen by a young hero with the help of the Old Jew's daughter. After a series of adventures, the young hero ends up marrying her by overcoming the magic of the Old Jew—who seems to consent to the marriage, however. That's still quite tame, I'll give you that.

In another tale (Volume IV, p. 198), « The Precious Eggs of the Rare Bird », things get more complicated. It is the story of a poor woodcutter who one day finds an egg, unaware of its inestimable value. A dishonest Jew then appears and offers to buy it from him for a pittance. He accepts. Later, however, the poor woodcutter proves to be smarter than the Jew. He captures the bird that lays the eggs and continues to sell them to the Jew. The Jew then decides to have the woodcutter exiled and marry his wife so that he can eat the bird with magical powers.

After many adventures, the Jew is finally brought before a judge who pronounces this sentence:

« You, the Jew [...] you put the woodcutter's life in danger by sending him across the seas! Furthermore, you have robbed him of the source of income that allowed him to live comfortably. You have taken his wife from him! You have caused his children to be hunted down, and they now stand before you. You incited these good people here present to bring the poor woodcutter to justice and send him to prison! For all these crimes, you, the Jew, are sentenced to death, and all your property shall be returned to the woodcutter! ». And, with a gesture to his servants, he added: « Arrest this Jew and carry out the death sentence! ».

In another tale (Volume II, p. 30), « The Ungrateful Woman », the story is even more serious. A young hero brings a beautiful wife back to his village. His father falls in love with her and decides to have him killed—a wicked Jew hastens to volunteer for the murder. The next day, he goes to the young man's house and invites him on a hunting trip. But the Jew takes the young man into the desert to die of thirst. On the verge of starvation, the young man begs the Jew to give him a drink. He agrees to let the « cruel Jew » -in the words of Leo Frobenius- gouge out his eyes.

In yet another tale (Volume IV, p. 125), « The Adventures of Aqaru Buselva », a king refuses to marry his daughter unless her suitor brings back 100 bags of beans from the Jewish merchant who lives across the sea. This Jew had become very rich and powerful thanks to a stratagem that had enabled him to have the most daring men in his region executed and to appropriate their property. More cunning than the others, the young hero manages to foil his stratagem. The Old Jew then congratulates him, saying : « You have won! Now you can choose whatever you like from all my riches ». But the young hero replied immediately: « You are mistaken, Jew! I don't just want all your riches, I want you too! You are a cruel and unscrupulous man! You have had many people killed out of greed! Now your time has come! I will have you executed! ». And the whole city rejoiced at the prospect of being freed from the cruelty and greed of the Jewish merchant.

Here you have the 4 Kabyle tales in which Jews appear. In the first, the Jew is the keeper of a secret knowledge that is stolen from him. In the second, the Jew is a hoarder and conspirator who ends up being sentenced to death. In the third, the Jew manages to blind and thirst to death an innocent young hero. The fourth tells how a rich Jewish merchant is sentenced to death for plotting the death of the bold men in his region—much to the delight of his entire village.

And, I forgot to mention, but the story of Mahasuk itself begins by explaining how these 100 children were not only rowdy but cruel—these 100 children who, I must remind you, represent the children of Israel in the Bible:

...They laughed and mocked the other children, only children, poor children who had no brothers. On that very day, they met a boy their age who was the only son of a widow. The child had ten acorns in his pocket, and it was with these acorns that he used to play. The noisy crowd passed by, and the hundred brothers began to mock the only son. […] Each of the hundred brothers took out his anger on the poor widow's son before letting him go, crying.

It was this incident that triggered the whole story, with the widow complaining to the king, who decided to drown the 100 cruel and cowardly little bullies, and so on...

Well, I know a little bit about anti-Semitism, having read Léon Poliakov's History of Anti-Semitism when I was very young. I vaguely knew that anti-Semitism was older than Christianity—but I must admit that I was initially shocked when I read these stories. I mean, what could the Kabyles possibly hold against the Jews, whose relations with them were much less conflictual than in Europe? Why do they seem to embody cruelty and indifference to the fate of their fellow human beings? It's surprising, isn't it?

7) Back to The Paleolithic

What if anti-Semitism did not originate in Antiquity, or even in the Neolithic era, but during The Paleolithic ? What if the Jews had a terrible Paleolithic secret to hide? What if the Paraklet had come to reveal it to the world—despite all the Pharisians' attempts to obscure it? Let's be clear now, because these days, people are quick to label you anti-Semitic. The Paraklet is simply the Messenger.

Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know. Surah Al Baqara 2:151.

Yes, the Paraklet reveals the Truth that has been hidden since the dawn of time. This Truth is beyond us all – myself included, of course. “I’m speaking of a time that anyone under 120 just couldn’t possibly know…” (line in reference to a french song : La Bohême, by Charles Aznavour): this time is, of course, The Paleolithic. All of this is buried under tons of layers—believe me, I know something about it.

So if the Jews have hidden a terrible secret, they have obviously done so without knowing it. Unwittingly, as the saying goes. And, by the way, I've already told you this, but « bis repetita placent »: being a Pharisian is not specifically Jewish. As far as I'm concerned, you are all a bunch of Pharisians. Every one of you. And I'm here to bring you back in line —and to tell you that the Hour of Awakening has come. For the Paraklet, whether you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or atheist is of little interest. What interests me is that you do not remain Pharisians all your lives.

Yes, I have come to tell you—not that I am leaving, not yet—but that it is time to do TeShouBa. To do penance, for the Jews of course, who obviously have much to be forgiven for, but also for others, who have just as much. Yes, it is time to do TeShouBa, to make a (Re)Turn. A (Re)Turn to The Paleolithic. Because that is where we all come from. And we have now entered the Age of the Paraklet, or, should I say, the Age of the Son of Man. Anthropos.

And if you want to know the heavy Paleolithic secret of the Jews that is at the root of anti-Semitism, you'll have to hang on. The time has not yet come for the Paraklet to reveal the answer to this riddle. But since I like you, I can give you a clue. It is time for you to go and find your most distant ancestors, and even those who came before our species, the Zahbâr, those giants with camel eyes, whom Procopius, the 6th-century Byzantine historian, told us that the Tuaregs believed to be « of a race prior to their own ». This was repeated to Fernand Foureau in 1902, when he spoke of tombs made up of piles of stones in large ellipses, which they attributed to an earlier race and believed to contain treasures.

As for the answer to this terrible question about the origins of anti-Semitism, it will be given to you in due course, my children. But to do so, I will have to tell you many more stories. Stories from another time!

...whose discovery fills me and my fellow storytellers with great fervor and deep emotion. These are myths of origin and cosmogonic tales. They stem from the ancestral wisdom whose indisputable links with the origin of monumental prehistoric cave paintings I have demonstrated.

in the words of Leo Frobenius (Volume I, p. 21), who continues:

For my informants, these myths are naturally a formidable and jealously guarded secret: they had, in fact, repeatedly urged me never to reveal them to the Arabs and, of course, « never in the presence of a woman, and if possible outside the house ».

That’s it! We are done with the Berbers, for the time being. You now know that our entire civilization is based on a great ignorance, a great forgetfulness - indeed, a great lie. We need to go back to square one. Start all over again.

But you have seen the Spirit of Truth. And rest assured, I'll be with you forever.

Mankind will never again forget its Paleolithic roots. The shameful reign of the Pharisians is over for good.

We've entered the Paraklet Era. And it has only just begun. Pharisians be damned.

Alright, see you again very soon.
